How do you get it running?

Difficulty · easy Time to first run · 5min

The Workflow tool itself is unreleased and hidden behind the CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOWS environment variable, so workflows won't actually run until Anthropic ships the feature.

No license is stated in the README.

In plain English

This repository is a plugin (called a "skill") for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant made by Anthropic. Its job is to teach Claude how to write "workflow" files: JavaScript scripts that coordinate multiple AI agents in a structured, repeatable sequence to complete a larger task. The idea behind a workflow is that you use plain JavaScript to control the structure: the loops, the branching, the fan-out to parallel agents. The only parts that spend AI tokens are the individual calls to fresh, isolated AI agents at the leaves of that structure. Because the orchestration is code rather than AI improvisation, the result behaves the same way every time and can be resumed if it stops partway through. The skill includes a complete reference manual for every available option, a set of copy-paste patterns for common workflow shapes (fan-out, pipeline, and looping), three starter file templates, six complete example workflows, and a linter script that checks a workflow file for format errors before you run it. There is an important caveat documented in the README: the Workflow tool that actually runs these files is not yet officially released by Anthropic. It exists inside the Claude Code binary but is hidden behind an environment variable and has not been publicly announced. The repo is described as a preview, and workflows it produces will not run until Anthropic officially ships the feature. Installation is a single copy command into Claude Code's skills folder. After that, asking Claude to "create a workflow" is enough to trigger the skill. The repo was built and is maintained by Ray Amjad.
